Chapter 5: I Want To Help You...
Sheba's POV
Sigh. I don't like it here. It had been two days since I was captured, and now I am being held under house arrest in this cold and lifeless castle.
My visions about the boy's father were correct.
As soon as we reached this castle, they fooled the boy to make him go to sleep and get some rest. Soon after, his father was taken to an underground cell and many of the soldiers were there with him, punishing him, beating him, till his blood ran from his face, hurting him until he became unconcsious - till he died...
Though I did not see it from the cell, I could see it in my visions, the whole sight of the brutal punishment brought me into tears. Tears for the man, for the boy and his mother, for the boy's future...
They will not go after the boy for running away because they think he helped them capture me.
They wouldn't let anyone know what had happened to that man, even if people from the castle saw, none of them were allowed to speak any word of it.
'Babi, you monster! You take my freedom and you're taking someone else's life and beloved, curse you...' I think angrily to myself. I will never forgive him for this.
Now I hear that he's lost all of a sudden, I don't care, I hope he never gets found!
I imagine how my family and the people in Lalivero are, Babi has left a few soldiers there to force them to start building Babi Lighthouse. I knew they were miserable...
"When am I gonna get out of here?" I ask desperately.
Ivan's POV
"Isaac, I think we should search this castle first before we look for Lord Babi." I exclaim to Isaac and the rest of my friends.
"Alright Ivan, I think you're probably right and maybe we could get some clues to finding out where he is." my wise friend Isaac agrees.
"Do we really have to find this guy? I mean Felix could be at Venus Lighthouse with Jenna and the others right now lighting the lighthouse while we're here sulking!" my other friend, Garet who sort of sometimes lacks brains.
"Well we just have to think differently and hope their not, Garet." Ah, the beautiful Mia agrees also with Isaac and me.
We reach the Eastern top of the castle and find a single room with an old man and woman guarding the door. It seemed as though the person in that room was really important.
"Excuse me, but who is in that room? And why do you need to guard it?" Isaac asks the old woman.
"The person in this room is Sheba, she comes from Lalivero. I do not know why Babi wants her to stay in this room at all times, be Child of the Gods or not but I think she still needs to get out of that room, but she refuses to see anyone outside." the old woman explained, concerned.
"May we enter please?" I ask to see if I could get a glimpse of this "Child of the Gods". The name intrigued me.
"Yes you may, and don't worry, nobody is really to visit her but you look like a trustworthy bunch so you may enter." the old man said gladly.
I open the door and inside I see a bed, a desk, a bookshelf, and beside the windowsill, standing, I see the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. So this is the Child of the Gods. Sheba.
Sheba was quiet all times and seemed like her mind was elsewhere. I feel a familiar aura from her. Could it be? She is! Sheba is a Jupiter Adept!
"Excuse me, Sheba, or Holy Child of the Gods-" Isaac was about to say something to her when she cut his words off.
"Please, don't call me by that name. I am just an ordinary girl with- " she trailed off. "I just want to go back home to my family, but I don't want to be called by that name."
She was so beautiful, yet so delicate and full of misery and hurt. It showed on her pale and beautiful face. And just by looking at her sea colored eyes, I could tell she went through a lot of things and wanted to be freed. That's what she was lacking, freedom.
"Please leave, I do not wish to see anyone right now..." those words made me a little bit sad. I want to get to know you Sheba.
Her eyes were now cast outside, her mind wandering off somewhere else.
Isaac, Garet, and Mia go to the door. They weren't upset if she wanted us to leave, they respected her.
"Ivan aren't you coming along?" Mia asks curiously.
I take another glimpse of the beautiful Sheba, how even more beautiful you would be if I could see you smile.
I want to stay.
"Okay you guys just wait for me, meet me outside okay?" I ask them, I just want to know what's going on in her mind. Isaac and the others didn't seem to suspect anything about how I feel for Sheba. They nod.
The door is closed and I am finally alone with Sheba, though she doesn't seem to notice me.
'That's probably good so I could read her mind better.' I think to myself, smiling.
I come closer to her and raise my hand to her head. I like how close I am to her.
Her thoughts were of her home and escaping but it would be impossible to reach the other end of Suhalla...
Sheba's POV
I stare out of the windowsill when suddenly I feel a strange but familiar power entering and probing my thoughts. Mind Read.
I turn around and see the mysterious boy who his friends call "Ivan". He's been mind reading me.
"Is-is that?... No, never mind." I break off. I don't want to talk to anyone right now...my eyes were again cast on the outside world in which I could never return to, not until I'm stuck in this rotten place.
Ivan's POV
She misses her family. I see. But I wish she could pay at least a little attention to me. Why? She doesn't even know me and I don't even know her. I guess I'm just being delirious.
The old woman opened the door and entered. She said nothing, she was just staring at me and Sheba. 'Why are they staring?'
The old woman just stares and smiles at my obliviousness.
I finally realise what I was doing, and the sight of it made my face red.
It hit me, I looked at me and Sheba's position. Oh dear me, I was standing and nearly leaning way too close to Sheba!
I quickly jumped out of that position and bowed to the old woman.
"S-sorry, ma'am. I d-didn't do anything I-I swear!" I stutter, my body shaking. How could I not see that? Ugh, stupid Ivan!
The old woman couldn't help but smile and muse at my humiliation. She just shook her head.
"I-I'll leave n-now..." I still stutter, but I was still a little down because I couldn't stay a little longer.
"Lady Sheba needs to eat. I think she needs to be alone right now." the old woman said.
There was nothing I could possibly do, so I decided to leave. Before I close the door I take one last look at the beautiful Sheba. Sigh, it's impossible and unbelievable. I have only met her for a few minutes and I'm already in love with her.
'Ivan you are one weird person...' I think to myself.
I leave the castle but not my thoughts about Sheba. Earlier, I've had a feeling when I was close to her that something bad was going to happen to her.
Like she was going to get captured and would need something to get her back so the enemy could get something they want. But it all sounded like a play to my mind. Maybe it's just my imagination. If Sheba's a Jupiter Adept then she could protect herself from anything. I'm pretty sure of it.
"That took you long Ivan, what were you doing there? Did you get lost or something?" Garet, the oblivious one asked me.
"To tell you the truth, yeah, I kind of did!..." I lie. But if I tell them what I did do, they would make fun of my feelings, especially Garet.
My face was convincing enough, Isaac and Garet agree and say that we should look for Babi now. There was just one who didn't belive me, Mia.
"I know what you really did, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone." she mused. My face growed a bright red, but I trust Mia, she won't tell them.
Sheba's POV
"You try to find Babi and be successful, and bring me more misery, I swear I will never forgive you for that, Ivan..." I whisper to the wind. I look outside and Ivan and his friends are now going to look for that monster, Babi. Curse you if you do. "...Never..."
Ooooohh sounds like Sheba'll get pissed off at Ivan any sooner. Hope you like this chapter, I tried to make it a little less confusing by putting their POV's so there.
